People with mental health conditions in Somaliland are increasingly forced into institutions, where they face serious abuses and poor conditions, says Human Rights Watch. The Somaliland authorities should provide oversight for all mental health facilities, prohibit chaining, and establish voluntary community-based services for people with mental health conditions.

There is a new kind of poverty in Britain. It is made by politicians, and could easily be ended by politicians.

For them, budgeting and belt-tightening would be the luxury option.
